Spectrum's Jeff Mislevy said, "Because of the type of care provided there, for so many years, we believe it is time to invest in a new facility that will sustain us for the next couple of decades and allow us to provide more efficient care to that population."

Construction on the new facility should start next spring and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2016.
